Description
This comprehensive survey explores the diversity and multiplicity of women's experiences in the Weimar Republic, from the First World War to 1933. New opportunities in employment, education, and political life led to greater freedoms in private and social life, all under the media spotlight.
Engaging with recent research and debates, this book portrays the Weimar Republic as a period of progressive change for young, urban women. It offers a fresh perspective on the lives, expectations, and perceptions of German women during this time.
Essential reading for students and researchers of German women in the early twentieth century, this book will also appeal to anyone interested in the Weimar Republic and women's history.
